The Surprising New Cleveland Clinic Study on the Bivalent Vaccine Efficacy

The Cleveland Clinic studied over 51,000 employees to see how effective the bivalent Covid-19 vaccines have been up until the close of the study on December 12, 2022. The start date was September 12, 2022. They specifically looked at reinfection incidence with covid-19 after one, two, three, and three-plus vaccines. The results are neatly presented in a line graph which we will look at later in this post. Two things really stand out. The first is that the more vaccinations the employees received, the more Covid-19 they got. The second thing is how the research paper described the vaccines as effective. I can't tell if this is a joke, as the paper is in pre-print and under peer review. In this post, we will look at the study with the results, then review their uncanny conclusions and discussion.

The Heart of the Matter

In a recent post, I wrote about some potential reasons for the increasing death rate among younger people, causing a higher death rate in 2021 than in the pandemic year of 2020. However, I have researched the subject much more and found some distressing correlations.

Criticizing The Science

On September 7, the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) published a study with troubling data. The study is a large observational study that looks at 887,193 children aged 5 to 11 years in North Carolina, of whom 273,157 (30.8%) received at least one dose of the Pfizer vaccine between November 1, 2021, and June 3, 2022. The study includes 193,346 children who had Covid-19 infections reported between March 11, 2020, and June 3, 2022. The researchers compared the effectiveness of the vaccines to the effectiveness of previous Covid-19 infections. They also compared the effectiveness of the vaccines when given to children that have had Covid-19. The results showed that infection from Covid-19 promotes better immunity in children than the vaccines. It also found that the immunity from the vaccines wanes quickly. Most disturbing, the vaccines appear to negate the immunity gained from infection even into negative territory. In other words, the vaccines sometimes promote Covid-19 infections. This is alarming.

Covid-19 Two Years Later: Are We Following the Science We Already Knew?

The scientific literature was clear in 2020, and it still is: Lockdowns don't work. But, unfortunately, nobody was allowed to talk about it until now. So those of us who read the research and history books back then feel we may speak more freely without fear of disdain, ridicule, or censorship. We read the studies from the vaccine companies that clearly never looked at prevention or spread, only symptoms. We knew the previous studies on masks and quarantining showed they are no use. But things are changing.

The media and politicians are now having trouble maintaining their narratives. For instance, just recently in The Studies In Applied Economics Journal, a January 2022 paper entitled A LITERATURE REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS OF THE EFFECTS OF LOCKDOWNS ON COVID-19 MORTALITY by Jonas Herby, Lars Jonung, and Steve H. Hanke stated that "…during the initial phase of the COVID-19 pandemic, lockdowns have had devastating effects. They have contributed to reducing economic activity, rising unemployment, reducing schooling, causing political unrest, contributing to domestic violence, and undermining liberal democracy. These costs to society must be compared to the benefits of lockdowns, which our meta-analysis has shown are marginal at best. Such a standard benefit-cost calculation leads to a strong conclusion: lockdowns should be rejected out of hand as a pandemic policy instrument." Their statement would have been taken off all social media and ignored by the mainstream press last year. This post will cover my previous observations about the pandemic over the last few years showing that the governments around the world did not “follow the science” as they claim.

The Authorities Are Quickly Reversing Their Stance on Covid

Dr. Fauci said this on January 12, 2022. "Omicron, with its extraordinary, unprecedented degree of efficiency of transmissibility, will ultimately find just about everybody ...Those who have been vaccinated ... and boosted would get exposed. Some, maybe a lot of them, will get infected but will very likely, with some exceptions, do reasonably well in the sense of not having hospitalization and death." In case Dr. Fauci has not noticed, the vast majority of us have done reasonably well for the past two years. Dr. Fauci would have been censored for saying this one or two years ago. The CDC posted this on January 7, 2022. "Among 1,228,664 persons who completed primary vaccination during December 2020–October 2021, severe COVID-19–associated outcomes (0.015%) or death (0.0033%) were rare. Risk factors for severe outcomes included age ≥65 years, immunosuppressed, and six other underlying conditions. All persons with severe outcomes had at least one risk factor; 78% of persons who died had at least four." They would have been de-platformed during the last two years for Tweeting this information. Today I will discuss some of the reasons the authorities are reversing their stance on the pandemic.

The Dangerous Phenomenon of Mass Formation

Have you noticed that fear is consuming a large segment of the population lately? Initially, we directed our worries at the virus. However, more and more, we are focusing our fear and anger on the unvaccinated. The same goes for anyone with an opinion that differs from the mainstream; they get labeled as misguided purveyors of vaccine hesitancy. All the while, the media seems bent on stoking fear and hatred. Prevention and treatment are nowhere to be found in their narrative. Dr. Mattias Desmet is a psychologist and professor at the University of Ghent who believes that the conditions of loneliness and isolation, coupled with free-floating anxiety associated with the frustrations and agitation, plus no sense of life's purpose, can have explosive consequences. For example, large numbers of dissatisfied, fearful, confused, and isolated people can suddenly band together in common cause against a sudden event that they identify as the sole cause of their misery. The sudden focusing on a single apparent threat provides immediate and palpable relief from the myriad longstanding pressures of isolation, confusion, and free-floating anxiety and discontent. Dr. Desmet calls this phenomenon mass formation.

Whether or Not to Get the Covid-19 Vaccine: A Controversy Founded in Misunderstanding

We are in the midst of heated times. The implication that unvaccinated people are dangerous is misguided, and I need to speak up. I present facts and ideas that you may not be aware of. I have nothing against vaccines personally and went out of my way to get certified by my state to provide them for anyone wanting one. I deem the matter a personal choice, and the law and medical ethics support this. I believe the risk from receiving the Covid-19 vaccination is probably minimal. The vast majority of us should take it without fear of harm. Like everything in life, individuals must weigh the pros and cons. The views expressed in this post are my opinions only. You should address concerns about the Covid-19 vaccination only with qualified medical professionals.
